Destruction

December 6, 2024December 6, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
grey concrete structure

Break the earth down in

to pieces of what matters 

I’m drinking blood and

writing words describing us

Let the cities become ruins

Waking

November 30, 2024November 30, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
bed in the clouds

I slipped out of dreams 

Mind wandering into the

Mornings glow and I 

Forgot what year it is and

What your voice sounds like doves coo

Drums

October 27, 2024October 27, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
group of men playing drums along the street

drums along the side-

walk buckets upside down they

beat and sing echoing

words sunrise to dark and I

slip through sound gazing at sky

Green Parrot Feather

September 15, 2024September 15, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
green bird perched on tree branch

green parrot feather

on sidewalk smeared words carved in

cement I was here

sunshine warms bones and spreads wings

clouds billow and drift eastward

Raven Croaks

August 31, 2024August 31, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
black bird flying in the sky

early morning i
sit drinking tea and listening
to raven croaking
gliding through the air to land
on lamp post slick with dew drops
